WASTE WATER SYSTEM
The waste water system in your RV is made up
of sinks, tub, shower, toilet, plumbing drain and
vent lines, a “gray water” holding tank and a
“black water” holding tank. The gray tank holds
shower, tub and sinks, where the black tank
holds toilet effluent. The holding tanks make the
system completely self-contained and allow you
to dispose of waste water at your convenience.
A flexible sewer hose is required to connect the
holding tank outlet to the inlet of an approved
waste water dump station or sewer system.
The drain plumbing is very similar to that used
in your home. The system is trapped and vented
to prevent waste gases from backing up into
the RV. The drain plumbing is made of plastic,
and is durable and resistant to most chemicals.
All drain plumbing except the toilet connection
terminates in the gray water holding tank and
drains directly into it.
Toilet
Your RV is equipped with a marine-type toilet.
The flushing mechanism, whether a foot-operated
pedal power flushed or a hand-operated lever,
allows a valve in the bottom of the bowl to open,
permitting the contents to be flushed into the
“black” holding tank. A stream of water under
pressure from the RV’s water system swirls around
the bowl, cleaning it and flushing the contents into
the holding tank. Most models have two levers,
each working independently of the other so the
bowl can be filled with water prior to use.
In order to help prevent hard deposits from
building up within the “black” tank and help
reduce unwanted odor, it is recommended to
always keep water in the tank. When empty after
a tank discharge, flush the toilet several times in
order to introduce about five gallons of water.
It is highly recommended that a deodorizing
product should be used for the black tank after
each discharge at a dumping station. This will
help control unwanted odors.
Ensure that the black tank sewer drain system is
always closed and only opened when draining
at a dump station. Never allow your black tank
system to dry out unless it has been thoroughly
cleaned, sanitized and rinsed first.
For additional information, please refer to
the toilet oper ating manual in your Owner’s
Information Package.
